Chapter 1101: Remaking the Avenue

On September 2nd, Ouyang Shuo returned to Shanhai City.

In the following week, several dynasties were born around the world, including the Gondor Dynasty in Britain, the Romanov Dynasty in Russia, and the Indian Empire, Persian Empire, and Arab Empire.

Although the latter three are called empires, they are still dynasties in terms of level, but they are called differently.

This matter was expected, so Ouyang Shuo didn't pay much attention to it. He just arranged for Alvaro, the admiral of the Atlantic Fleet, to go to congratulate him when the Gangdor Dynasty was established.

In the next period of time, I am afraid that more dynasties will be born, the global territory will usher in a major division, and the situation will become more and more clear.

As expected by Ouyang Shuo, apart from Daxia, the dynasties that can stand in the wilderness without falling are either belonged to the hands of Baiyin or the dark chess set by the academy. There are very few third parties.

This is not good news for Daxia.

"Time waits for me!"

Ouyang Shuo looked at the southern sky, his fighting spirit was high.

…………

September 9th, Southwest University Hall.

When the situation around the world is changing, Shanhai City, as the center of the world, seems to be a little calm, calmly starting a new day of life.

The Zhengming Building in the southwest corner of the Southwest University Hall is somewhat unusual.

In the main hall, Confucius, Laozi, Mozi, Han Feizi, Sun Wu, Guiguzi, Zou Yan, Huizi, Lu Buwei, Xu Xing, Zhang Zhongjing, Li Bai, Cao Xueqin and other school leaders sat in front of them.

Mencius, Xunzi, Zhuangzi, Liezi, Shang Yang, Shen Buhai, Gaozi, Yangzi, Gongsun Long, Zhang Yi, Tian Pian, Shenzi, Yin Wen, Yanzi and Guanzi sat in the middle.

Behind them are more than five hundred disciples from hundreds of schools, all of whom are the backbone of the school.

Such a force can almost represent the ideological mainstream of the entire Chinese civilization. In today's world, only the Great Xia can have this influence and can bring them together.

At exactly nine o'clock, Ouyang Shuo appeared in the hall.

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Regardless of whether they were officials in Daxia, those who lived in seclusion in Daxia, or even the sons of hundreds of families who did not live in Daxia, they all stood up and saluted respectfully.

This is not only a respect for the emperor of the wilderness, but also a respect for Chinese orthodoxy.

Ouyang Shuo didn't show a trace of pride. After sitting down, he lowered his hands to signal everyone to sit down, and said, "In terms of knowledge, everyone can be my teacher. Please don't be cautious."

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Lao Tzu and others obviously eased.

Ouyang Shuo's humble attitude won the favor of these great masters. People like Lao Tzu and others were invited to come here this time because of the face of Jiang Shang, Confucius and others, not because they really fear Da Xia.

"After all of you appeared in the wilderness, you must have gained new insights based on what you saw and heard." Speaking of this, Ouyang Shuo glanced at Confucius, who was sitting at the head of the hall, full of deep meaning.

Several years have passed since Confucius reworked the Confucian classics, and he must have achieved something.

Ouyang Shuo went on to say: "Through exchanges and debates among the various schools, the theories of each school have also been improved and improved. This is the blessing of China."

Speaking of this, the scholars of all schools are still puzzled.

"What is the purpose of King Xia's invitation to come, please tell me clearly." It was Lu Buwei who spoke.

Because he was not reused by Daxia, Lu Buwei was a little upset. He was invited to come here this time, not because he really attached himself to Daxia, but because he came with the intention of watching the excitement.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo smiled slightly, and finally expressed his purpose, "I am thinking that all schools of thought have their own strengths and specialties. If one school and one school can represent the orthodoxy of Huaxia thought, who is it? Not convinced, no one can convince anyone. As far as Da Xia is concerned, he does not want to really dominate one school and reject other schools."

Hearing this, many people present trembled in their hearts.

Most of them lived in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and they did not really experience Qin Shihuang's burning of books and burying Confucianism, nor did they experience the millennium-long "supreme Confucianism" of later generations.

But since the various schools of thought appeared in the wilderness, information in this regard has been pouring in to them, which has also caused Confucianism to be rejected by other schools.

Now that Ouyang Shuo, the most powerful emperor in the wilderness, suddenly brought up this matter again, what is his meaning?

Could it be that a new era of bloodshed is coming?

This is not impossible. Counting the history, no dynasty can really tolerate the existence of hundreds of schools in one place at the same time, resulting in chaos in the ideological field within the dynasty.

This is a catastrophe for the dynasty's rule.

On the contrary, Lu Buwei, who was sitting in the hall, looked quite excited, and even looked forward to it.

Ouyang Shuo said: "Times are changing, so ideas naturally need to be innovated. This king respects the coexistence of a hundred schools of thought in Daxia, which doesn't mean that Daxia doesn't need a unified ideological system."

Confucius, Mozi and others nodded in unison.

Ouyang Shuo was not aggressive, but just objectively explained the actual needs of Daxia. Daxia provides an open and inclusive academic environment for all schools of thought, and all schools of thought should also share their worries for Daxia.

The world is a cycle of cause and effect.

"What I mean by this king is that I hope that there will be a great cooperation between a hundred schools of thought. While maintaining the independence of each school and school, they will gather the essence of each school's thoughts and blend them together to form a set that is not only suitable for the rules of the wilderness, but also includes the dynasty. Governance in all aspects of the ideological system, as a benchmark, as orthodoxy."

"Hiss~~~"

Everyone here gasped, shocked by King Xia's ambition.

Ouyang Shuo's idea is not a fantasy. Although Confucianism was the only one in the Han Dynasty, in fact, the "Confucian classics" promoted by the government, based on Confucianism as the main body, had secretly blended the essence of hundreds of schools.

There is a precedent for this matter, why can't it be done?

Confucius was the first to stand up, cupped his hands and said: "Once the king's plan is realized, it will surely benefit the common people in the world. Zhong Ni is not talented, and I would like to lead Confucianism to participate in it and do my part."

Seeing this, Ouyang Shuo got up and bowed solemnly: "Master Gao Yi!"

The representatives of the schools of thought are the essence of Chinese civilization. If Ouyang Shuo wants to base himself on the origin of China, revive Chinese civilization, and promote it to the world, he must first complete the internal integration.

It is neither realistic nor necessary to integrate all schools of thought into one.

A civilization without competition and differences cannot survive in the long river of history.

Ouyang Shuo's method is obviously extremely clever, what he wants to integrate is only the essence of a hundred schools of thought, metaphysical things, not physical entities.

This is also a great opportunity for the Hundred Schools of Learning.

While allowing the coexistence of a hundred schools of thought, the Great Xia did not include the hundred schools of thought into the orthodoxy of the dynasty. It is like having a treasure mountain in emptiness, but leaving it unused, which is not beautiful.

No matter what family or faction, the ultimate goal is to serve the dynasty. If it is not included in the orthodoxy, it will be useless. The idea proposed by Ouyang Shuo is obviously to make up for this shortcoming.
